Location : Remote

Contract Type : 6-month contract (with potential to extend or become permanent)

Salary : £35k-£40k per annum, based on experience.

About the Role

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Data Protection & Information Governance Consultant to join our growing consultancy team. This mid–senior level role is ideal for someone who is confident working independently across multiple client accounts, enjoys developing trusted relationships, and is passionate about delivering pragmatic, effective solutions in the ever-evolving privacy and data governance landscape.

You’ll play a key role in supporting our public and private sector clients, particularly across health, and cross-sector domains, with strategic advice, compliance assessments, policy development, and hands-on implementation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and grow client accounts, acting as a trusted advisor on matters of data protection and information governance.
  • Lead and support audits and assessments, particularly in relation to GDPR (UK & EU), DSPT, and ISO 27001.
  • Provide consultancy on data privacy best practices, including DPIAs, SARs, breach response, and international data transfers.
  • Draft and review governance documentation such as policies, procedures, ROPAs, asset registers, and data sharing agreements.
  • Engage confidently with clients in healthcare (including the NHS), policing, and other sectors, tailoring advice to different organisational contexts.
  • Deliver training, workshops, and written reports to a high professional standard.
  • Collaborate with internal colleagues and support junior team members with knowledge sharing and mentoring where appropriate.

What We’re Looking For

Core Professional Skills & Experience

  • Demonstrated consultancy experience in data protection or information governance.
  • Strong account and relationship management skills, with a track record of maintaining and developing client accounts.
  • Hands-on experience conducting data protection audits, ideally including GDPR (UK & EU), DSPT; ISO 27001 experience is a plus.
  • Familiarity with UK-specific privacy regulations (UK GDPR, PECR) and public sector compliance obligations.
  • Exposure to sectors such as healthcare, NHS, policing, or other regulated environments is advantageous.
  • Proficient in developing and maintaining compliance documentation including ROPAs, data subject rights workflows, and data sharing agreements.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce high-quality documentation and guidance.
  • Personal Attributes

  • Highly organised and calm under pressure; able to manage competing priorities effectively.
  • Curious and quick to pick up new concepts, tools, and regulatory changes.
  • Outcome-oriented, pragmatic, and flexible in approach.
  • Confident in dynamic, fast-paced environments and able to work under occasional time constraints.
  • Supportive and collaborative team player, with a willingness to mentor others.
  • Professional, friendly, and client-focused with a high degree of integrity.
  • Opportunities for Growth

    This role offers clear progression opportunities into more senior or specialist positions, including portfolio leadership and service development. We’re looking for someone who can grow with the business and help shape our evolving offerings.

    You’ll have the chance to work across diverse client contexts, influence real-world privacy practices, and further your expertise in a collaborative and supportive environment.
